How to convert String date to Date?

Question

I have done following code:

String str = \"2013-01-17 11:26\";
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(\"yyyy-mm-dd hh:MM\");
Date date = dateFormat.parse(s         


        

Answer 1

You are using the wrong format. MM is for month, and mm is for minutes, and for hours use HH. See SimpleDateFormat for various other formats.

Change your format to: -

DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm");
